Los Angeles celebrates Game 1 victory with Tweet taking shot at Canucks

VANCOUVER – The war of words in the Vancouver Canucks-Los Angeles Kings series has started.

On Twitter.

In the moments after Los Angeles finished off a 4-2 victory in Game 1 on Wednesday night, a message was posted to the team’s official Twitter account taking a shot at Vancouver: “To everyone in Canada outside of BC, you’re welcome.”

The Canucks have drawn criticism during a successful couple seasons that has seen them capture the Presidents’ Trophy in back-to-back years and fall one game short of the Stanley Cup in 2011.

In October, CBC commentator Don Cherry added to the chorus by saying Vancouver was disliked because the players whine at officials.

The team is considered a strong Stanley Cup contender yet again and entered the series with Los Angeles as a heavy favourite.

Game 2 goes Friday night at Rogers Arena.
